3 flashing lights is usually a general hardware failure, however heres a lot more information that should help diagnose the problem

THINGS TO TRY1. Try restarting the console.2. If restarting the console does not resolve the behavior, follow these steps:o Turn the console off.o Unplug all the power and AV cables from the console.o Unplug the power cord from the wall socket.o Firmly reconnect all the cables.o Turn on the console.3. If these steps do not resolve the behavior, turn the console off, remove the hard drive, and then turn onthe console. If the 3x Red LED error light is no longer displayed, turn the console off, re-attach the harddrive, and then turn on the console.4. Also examine the lights on the power supply. When you turn on the console, the power supply lightshould illuminate green even if the three lights on the RoL flash red.The specific type of hardware failure can be determined by a "hidden" error code• Turn the xbox 360 on, and wait till the 3 red lights are flashing.• Press and hold the sync up button (the small white one), while holding that button press the eject button.• The LEDs will now blink the first number in the code (as described below).• Release the eject button and press it again.• The LEDs will now blink the second number of the code.• Release the eject button and press it again.• The LEDs will now blink the third number of the code.• Release the eject button and press it again.• The LEDs will now blink the forth number of the code.• Release the eject button and press it again.• The LEDs will go back to the 3 red flashing lights.You should be able to determine the difference between the 3 flashing lights and the error code lights by the rate inwhich they flash.Here is how you interpret the LEDs to get the code number:• All four lights flashing - 0• One light flashing - 1• Two Lights flashing - 2• Three lights flashing - 3

1 Red Ring = Serious Hardware FailureI f your XBOX 360 has a 1 red flashing light error, you're more than likely in big trouble. The 1 flashing red ring of light can be due to GPU or CPU failure, RAM overheating, a DVD drive error, or some serious problem with your Xbox 360's internal components. The most common 1 flashing red ring lights error is the E74 error. The E74 error is no easy fix for the Xbox 360 and usually has to be repaired by the manufacturer [though some have managed to repair it with the heat gun trick - but be careful]

2 Red Rings = OverheatingMostly all red flashing lights on the Xbox 360 rings are due to overheating in some way or other, but the 2 red rings singles out overheating as the main issue. When doing the X-Clamp fix the 2 red rings are required to fix the Xbox 360 by overheating the CPU. If you get this Xbox 360 error without doing the X-Clamp fix, you probably just need to let your Xbox 360 cool down for a few hours. Make sure that all vents aren't blocked off and that your Xbox fans are working properly in order to repair this problem.

3 Red Rings = Basic Hardware FailureThe most common error on the Xbox 360 is the 3 red rings - also known as the Red Rings of Death (RRoD). This flashing lights problem is the main cause of Xbox 360's 54.2% failure rate. The 3 red flashing lights can be due to lots of different errors but is mainly due to the X-Clamps in your Xbox 360 and overheating. Fortunately, lots of people were able to fix this issue using the X-Clamp and heat gun fix. Follow this list of error codes to find out the real issue with the 3 red rings because there are quite a few of them.

HI, this is a AV cable fault. it is unable to be detected. follow the procedures below to correct this issue. of the procedure dose not produce results, this will confirm that the damage is severe, and you will need to contact Microsoft for a repair ticket.

Check Points

1. Make sure that the AV cable is correctly connected to the Xbox 360 console. 2. Disconnect the AV cable from the Xbox 360 console, and then reconnect the AV cable to the Xbox 360 console. 3. If the four flashing red lights continue to flash, try wiping the metal area of the AV pack with a dry cloth. The metal area is the end that plugs into the console. Wipe the metal area thoroughly, and then try the AV Pack again. 4. If the AV cable is correctly connected but the four red lights are still flashing, substitute a different AV cable if you have one available.

1 red light means general hardware failureand it is pretty much the same as 3 red lights but it is has a slightly different problem. if you are under warranty send it of to microsoft. they will repair it for free. if not buy a new warranty for 60 dollars.

2 red lights flashing is'nt too bad of a deal. just reposition your xbox 360 to a place where more airflow can get to it. plus, dont have anything that gives off heat near the xbox 360, thats vary important to give it room for cool air. it worked for me
